I gave up. Too many crashes are preventing me from continuing the game, even though I really want to finish it. The game itself is good, but this “Enhanced Edition” is trash. For your information, this isn’t an enhanced edition, it’s a political edition. The same bugs we encountered 10 years ago are still here, and now the mods can’t even fix them anymore. To be honest, I don’t see victims of war here; I only see …

“GSC has stripped out nearly all Soviet/Russian assets (map areas, textures, voice acting, currency, etc), graphic have been downgraded, & mods no longer work. The original game has also been delisted.” Also, they have tried to DMCA strike a game that is like S.T.A.L.K.E.R in that it has anomalies and plays in eastern Europe, but that is a multiplayer indie game made by one person that is also a rogue-like. It's …

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky A Worthy Return to the Zone, Clear Sky is a strong follow up to Shadow of Chernobyl that refines and expands many of the ideas introduced in the first game. It didn’t leave the same immediate impression back in the day, but looking at it now especially in its Enhanced Edition it stands as a much more solid and enjoyable entry in the series. One of the biggest additions is the focus on …

12h to finish, Veteran 39% of achievements (17/43) Stalker Clear Sky, where bandages are more valuable than guns, ammo, and artifacts. This is generally considered the worst Stalker game, and while I kinda agree, there is no bad Stalker game; even though it is worse than the others, it's still an above-average game. The last zone and the final fight are bad, and I mean really bad. Locked in a combat corridor, …

The developers did an excellent job with the Enhanced Edition of CS preserving its original atmosphere without ruining anything. It's definitely better than the kind of cringeworthy remaster it could have turned into
